[Kruso]

I can cut if off.

Sweet man... I'll try to attack it with a grinder but if I have trouble I'll call you Rob. Sorry for high jacking your thread Andrew.

, I do it to other people all the time

Not sure I'm going to have to switch out the oil pan and all that junk if I have a 4" drop bracket lift. May help move this swap along a little quicker.

 

[tex]

So this has been how long?? 5 months? The term moving this along quicker should not be used. There is nothing quick about your swap.
Also I see TV shows where they do engine swaps in 1 hour shows so what is the hold up?

Okay, I just got back from buying another 3.4L that doesn't need any rebuilding before it goes in. Should speed things along. Then I can take my sweet ass time rebuilding the other one while the weather is nice outside.

 

[Mauzer]

Wtf!?! You bought another 3.4?

 

[drew02a]

Oh hell yeah, I did

 

[Mauzer]

[Mauzer]

That's the plan. I might pull the old one before we leave though.

 

[AlienXtx]

Just drag it to Robbies house and park it?

 

[balakay]

I'll take mine too. Let's see how many 4Runners it takes before Rob's wife files for a divorce!

 

[murphyz]

Robs will be open soon mine will be gone in two weeks... i have taken it as far as i can at robs and need it at my house to go the rest of the way

There ain't nothin' can be done at his place that can't be done at mine

What do you have left?

 

[murphyz]

not much but stuff that needs more time looking in a haynes manual than at the truck.
also i think the crossover will need to be redone, the outlet is sitting less than 1/8in from my torsion bar.

also i want to be able to work on it after work and slowly be able to sew her up instead of trying to remember what i did 3 weeks ago with that wire...
vacuum hoses, and heater hose replacement, hook up body harness to battery, find where this one f-ing plug goes, hook up the O2 sensor wire, and O2
sensor, drive lines and exhaust, and new speedo cable...

Got the 3.0 pulled out today. Found a couple bearings floating around in the engine bay from the water pump.

 

[texasislandboy]
